First of all, fuck this world if I have to worry about “getting the point” of a fucking comedy Twitter account. Second of all, no, I said the *article* is attempting to make him sound odd/weird/edgy. Let’s take a look:

I think Cross is generally an asshole, and his recent work has involved swatting at some low-hanging fruit, but I also think your analogy doesn’t work here. It’d be more like meeting Don Rickles in a bar and having him do his schtick to you. Cross is a successful comedian and comic actor (if not Rickles-level), and…

Nope. Not registering a thing for me. Trolling is boring. And I’ve read funnier and weirder shit, online and off-. But, please, you folks enjoy.

Holy shit, I gave up about halfway through reading this. An attempt to make a goddamn twitter account sound like the oddest, weirdest, edgiest voice in the world, yet backed up by fairly pedestrian tweets. Nope.

Serious side question: How do we feel in 2017 about the first verse of “Los Angeles”? I have to admit I’d heard that song for years before realizing the n-word was in the third line. I know they’re singing about a particular character/person, but ever since I realized that, it’s become a song I don’t blast while…

But she’s not really writing about Ivanka’s teenage years, she’s writing about the adult Ivanka’s purported memories of her teenage years, and how she is suspiciously framing her young self as a teen punk, presumably to gain some credibility. It’s like if I wrote a book where I claimed that when I was a teenager I was…

And it’s not like *nobody* says Merry Christmas anymore — I hear people say it every year, and I’d normally have no problem saying it, except that when idiots like Trump make these sort of proclamations, it just makes me want to be contrary. I want to respect your religion, folks, but when you act like assholes, I’m…

How does this fucking moron think he’s going to make everyone say Merry Christmas? Does he think he’s going to sign an Executive Order? These idiots are going to be in for a shock when they find out exactly how many people in America don’t give a shit about their mythology.

You say that GoT is the “worst example” I could pick, and that I’m referring to a “fictional show universe” as though I pulled GoT out of thin air. This is literally an actor from that specific show on a panel about that specific show, talking about his work in things like that specific show. You also say “fictional…

You’re kind of proving my point about the hypocrisy here. GoT is produced by “modern men.” Those naked women peppering every other scene are real people, not CGI. How many actresses have basically been told that in order to get their big break, they’ve got to play “Naked Whore #2" on GoT? If someone is so concerned…

Another way to normalize rape and the objectification of women is to feature prominently it in a highly-watched cable TV show. It’s odd that folks seem to be more concerned with words than actions.

Twitter wants to silence women, so ... let’s be silent? Isn’t that giving them what they want? A boy’s club where women’s voices aren’t heard? I’d love to see the opposite: flood Twitter with stories of being a woman, tweet “fuck you Ben Affleck” 1000 times, post screenshots of harassing texts you’ve received.

But none of what you said is exemplified by his 6-year-old comment. He’s talking on a GoT panel, and the comment should be viewed in context of the “rape and pillage” nature of the show. Yes, if he made the same comment this week, I’d think it was incredibly tone-deaf. Or, say, if Jon Hamm said his favorite part of…

Are we seriously digging up a flippant :05 sec comment from 6 years ago? It seems to me it was a comment made very much in context of the “rape and pillage” nature of the show, and was spoken specifically during a GoT panel. If you’re easily triggered by any mention of rape, then the overt sexual violence of GoT…

As a white person who doesn’t own any guns, I’ll say I don’t have any problem with what he wrote. While he may be stereotyping, I wouldn’t classify it hate speech, personally. And yeah, I’ve seen worse from white folks on Facebook, and they didn’t get booted.

But it already has a name: “condescend” You used it. Men do it to other men, too. All the fricking time. I’m a man and I’ve had men lecture me on topics for which I legitimately have years more experience than they do. I do think guys are generally “know-it-all” prone, but the fact is we don’t just do it to women.…

I fucking *hate* the term “mansplaining.” There’s already a word for it: “condescending.”

“Think about it, how often have you “been good” just to avoid trouble, to avoid breaking rules?”

I don’t buy what you’re trying to sell here. Humor is a method of saying truths, especially difficult truths. Unless Tina Fey or MacFarlane turned around and signed a multi-movie deal with Weinstein, there is no problem here. They told the truth the way comedians do, with comedy. What was Tina Fey supposed to do, call…

“At this point”? It’s frustrating that anyone is surprised by this. The mythology of Hollywood is literally built upon tales of asshole/abusive producers, casting couches, and young women who are chewed up and spit out. As fans, we’re complicit to some extent, because we’ve bought into that mythology, stoked it,…
